Hey! Free stuff--pass it on!

Well, I am this close to hitting a big milestone--I am, as of this writing, only 17 sales away from 1000 on my Etsy shop! That's right--I am at 983 sales, and I want to CELEBRATE--by giving people FREE STUFF!

A little backstory. I registered my Etsy shop back in August 2008. I only put a few pieces of my artwork up, though, and sold exactly two things. I let the listings run out, and my shop lay empty for over a year. Then, in December 2009, I decided to give it another try with some new artwork--and it worked! Since then, I have been fortunate enough that over 1,100 people have favorited my shop, and I'm in over 150 circles, too. So people are paying attention, and letting their wallets speak, apparently. I am truly, and incredibly, grateful for this place I'm in, and while I can't give something to every person who has bought my work, promoted it, complimented it, added it to treasuries, or otherwise just liked it, I want to give something back to at least a few people. So--giveaways!

Here's who gets what, if you're the lucky person who orders these items...

Item #1000 - One 5-card totem animal card reading, with one bonus one-card reading as a follow-up to the original reading--a $30 value, FREE with your order!

Item #1001 - One totem animal dance tail on belt with matching pair of pouches. This will be with a fox tail of the buyer's choice from a pre-selected (by me) assortment, and with the buyer's choice of color of leather and type of clasp (bone or antler). The listing shows $35, but that's just for the materials and labor if you send me your own tail. With a tail supplied by me added in, this is a $50 value, FREE with your order!

Item #1002 - One brand new, signed copy each of my books Fang and Fur, Blood and Bone, DIY Totemism, and Skin Spirits--an animal magic trilogy! And this is a $63.00 value, FREE with your order!

Finally, just so that you all aren't waiting til it gets closer to 1000 before you buy, one randomly selected order between 984 and 999 will receive a super-secret gift, FREE with your order, of course!

....and, The Rules:

--Purchase is necessary, obviously. Cancelling your order or returning items 1000 - 1002 will result in forfeiture and return of free gifts.
--Any purchase counts, no matter the price of the item. Yes, it's totally possible to win by buying a $2 item. I'll still honor it!
--One gift per person. If one person buys, for example, items 1001 and 1002, then they will get the free gift for 1001. The person who buys item 1003 will then get the 1002 prize. Also, if the first randomly selected person ends up also being the buyer for 1000, 1001 or 1002, another person will be randomly selected.
--In the event that item #1001 is bought by someone outside of the United States, a comparable gift that is not made of animal parts and that is legal to send overseas will be substituted. No other substitutions.

So what are you waiting for? If you aren't already watching my Etsy shop, go ahead and fave it--or, better yet, add me to your circle for an easier way to see when I add new items--I'll be adding more tails and ears later today (Saturday), just FYI, and there'll be more stuff added in the days and weeks to come. You can also keep track of when I add things to Etsy over on the Green Wolf's FB fan page, too.

Oh--and pass this post on to other folks, and give them the chance to get free stuff, too! Thankya :)
